United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

It's not an OS, but I worked for the NHS for a time a year ago. They still use Internet Explorer.
Chances are they use some internal sites that only work in IE. Could even be using some Java Applet or ActiveX plugin that hasn't been patched in 15 years.
Even Chrome abandoned everything pre-Windows 10 earlier this year. I reckon there's more machines than not that couldn't upgrade OS even if they wanted to.
That wouldn't surprise me at all. The explanation I was given at the time was literally "because it has private browsing".
